The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu Returns with Boundless Hatred for Revenge

He glanced at Yan Jiecheng, who was lying on the ground barely breathing, and then at Yan Bugui, who looked bitter and resentful. His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and disgust.

They dared to express dissatisfaction with the organization's punishment and openly resist reform; it seems this family's days are numbered. However, saving lives is the priority right now; he's a policeman, and he can't stand idly by.

He turned to a young policeman behind him and said, "Xiao Zhang, go find a flatbed cart right away and get the injured person to the hospital! Saving lives is the priority!"

"Yes!" The young police officer responded and went to make the arrangements.

"Wait! Officer!" Yan Bugui panicked immediately upon hearing that he had to be taken to the hospital first; he hadn't received any compensation yet! "We can't take him to the hospital first! He Yuzhu hasn't paid us any money! He beat my son like this, we have to get him to the hospital now..."

"Shut up!" Deputy Director Wang interrupted sharply. "Yan Bugui, is that you? Your son is so badly injured, if you don't get him to the hospital in time, will you take responsibility if he dies? Or are you trying to extort money and obstruct treatment?"

After saying that, he ignored Yan Bugui and said to another police officer, "Xiao Li, take evidence from the neighbors present and record the whole story. Be truthful. Anyone who dares to give false testimony will bear the consequences!" No matter the reason, the proper procedures must be followed.

Police officer Xiao Li immediately took out his notebook and began questioning the neighbors present one by one. These residents wouldn't dare to talk nonsense now, would they? Didn't they see that the group of people who spread rumors earlier were punished and demoted, their wives and mothers crying and lamenting in their homes, unable to live anymore? Completely ignoring the desperate winks from Yi Zhonghai and his old bastards, they told them everything in detail.

The testimonies were completely one-sided, claiming that the Yan family was seeking revenge out of personal reasons, making unreasonable demands, and initiating violence, forcing He Yuzhu to defend himself.

Without wasting any words, Deputy Director Wang pointed directly at the old man picking his nose and said, "Yan Bugui, right? Your thoughts and actions are very problematic. Once we get to the police station, we need to report to the street office and see how they handle you. Now, come with us to the police station."

"Oh, by the way, you should also pay the compensation that Comrade He Yuzhu is requesting. Since Comrade He Yuzhu's family didn't suffer much damage or loss, I'll take charge of this matter. You only need to compensate Comrade He Yuzhu twenty yuan. Comrade He Yuzhu is a cadre, he has awareness, and I believe he won't make a big deal out of it."

"What?!" Yan Bugui could hardly believe his ears. "I lost my job, my son's leg was broken, and now the police not only aren't arresting He Yuzhu, the murderer, but they're arresting me and demanding compensation? Is there any justice in this world?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, standing nearby, were also incredulous, never expecting the police to have such an attitude! At that moment, a multitude of idioms flashed through their minds: officials protecting each other! Colluding with each other! Working together in evil! A den of snakes and rats...

"This is unfair!" Yan Bugui roared. "My son was beaten like this, his leg is broken! Instead of arresting the culprit, you're arresting me? On what grounds?! Is there no law in this world?! You..."

"Whether it's fair or not, come back to the police station with us and we'll talk about it then! We'll have your neighborhood committee explain it to you then!" Deputy Chief Wang interrupted directly, his face completely darkening. He pointed at Yan Bugui's nose and began to scold him, "You still haven't realized where your problems lie? No wonder you were capable of doing something like this! It seems we really need to give you a thorough overhaul! Now, immediately, come with me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The final tone carried a command. As a policeman and deputy director, he naturally exuded an air of authority. Old Pick-Nose was usually terrified of government officials; if he hadn't been fired and lost his mind, he wouldn't have done such a brainless thing. Now, after being reprimanded by the policeman, he suddenly sobered up considerably, startled, and the rest of his words caught in his throat.

Only then did he come to his senses that he was a small business owner, a "stinking intellectual," and a problem worker who had been dismissed from his job. The police told him to leave, so he left; he no longer had the courage to resist. With a dejected look, under the watchful eyes of the two officers, he could only move his feet, preparing to follow them.

"Old man! Don't go with them!" Just then, seeing that her husband was about to be arrested, her son was seriously injured and no one was taking care of him, and the pillar of the family was about to collapse, Yang Ruihua simply stopped caring and started to act recklessly.

With a scream, she rushed straight to Deputy Director Wang, then sprawled out on her back, kicking and thrashing wildly, and began to throw a tantrum. No wonder she had been able to hold her own against Jia Zhangshi in the courtyard for years; she was truly a match made in heaven!

"This is outrageous! Officials are protecting each other! Xinhua is bullying ordinary people! We can't survive! Your Honor, open your eyes and see!"

"boom!"

Everyone in the entire courtyard retreated thirty meters, and a traditional deathly silence fell once more!

Is this woman insane? How dare she shout something like that? Isn't that just asking for death?

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked terrified, stumbling back several steps as if they wanted to disappear from the scene immediately. They really wanted to tear Yang Ruihua's mouth apart! That stupid woman! She's dragging them all to hell!

"Good! Very good! How dare you openly slander the excellent situation of Xinhua! Lawless!" Deputy Director Wang showed no joy or sorrow, only a cold laugh. Only the police officers beside him knew that their boss was completely enraged.

"Go, tie her up! Take her back!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the young policeman immediately untied the rope from his waist and stepped forward to tie up Yang Ruihua.

Yang Ruihua had completely lost his temper. Seeing the police arrive to arrest him, he not only showed no fear but became even more frantic, waving his arms and scratching at the officers while shouting, "The officials are bullying people! Everyone come quick! The police are beating people! Help..."

The junior police officer was truly at a loss for how to deal with this shrew. Seeing this, Deputy Chief Wang took a step forward, grabbed Yang Ruihua's hair with his left hand, pulled her head back, and then slapped her fat face hard across the face with his right hand!

"Clap clap clap..."

Yang Ruihua never expected that the police would actually dare to hit her in public. By the time she realized what was happening, she felt like her face and mouth were no longer her own. All she could do was scream in agony, unable to utter a single word.

After being slapped more than a dozen times, Deputy Director Wang finally stopped, shaking his slightly sore hand.

Then look at Yang Ruihua, I won't describe her here, but she's exactly the same as Jia Zhangshi after being beaten by the security department at the hospital. At this point, she's completely out of her mind.

Deputy Director Wang let out a heavy breath, waved his hand at the young police officer, and ordered, "Tie him up! Drag him away!"
